Respiratory distress often occurs during the neonatal period, and in 80% to 85% of cases, the diagnosis is made before the age of 2 years following respiratory infections. Case Report: We report a case of MAKC diagnosed in the neonatal period. The diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological and histological elements. Our patient underwent surgical resection. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of MAKC without any sign of malignancy. The postoperative evolution was good. Conclusion: Clinicians and pathologists should recognize the early discovery of MAKC in neonatal age. The clinical diagnosis strongly guided by the radiological approach is confirmed by the pathological anatomy insofar as the therapeutic sanction is surgical in the majority of the cases.展开更多

Methods In this retrospective study, all 12 cases which were diagnosed with suspected prenatal CC,4M over the period in the hospital were analyzed. Information on diagnosis time, types and progression of the lesions during pregnancy, the additional abnormalities, and the outcome of pregnancies were recorded.Results The positive rate of ultrasonic detection of CCAM was about 1.01‰ （1/11 124） before 28 gestation weeks. There were 1 case of type Ⅰ （8%）, 2 cases of type Ⅱ （17%） and 9 cases of type Ⅲ （75%）. Nine pregnancies were terminated and 2 cases were confirmed by pathology. Three neonates were alive and without any symptom now. Conclusions Type Ⅲ is the major type. Ultrasound examination during 20-28 weeks and following up, prenatal consultation, chromosome examination offetus, delivery with a pediatrician standing by, and all suspected neonates being investigated are recommended.展开更多

Ultrasonography (US) has been the imaging gold standard for antenatal CCAM assessment. However, one of the limitations of US is the “vanishing phenomenon” caused by isoechogenicity of CCAM tissue and adjacent normal lung parenchyma. Methods: Antenatal serial US were concurrently used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor macro- and microcystic lesions. Results: In both pregnant women, antenatal US and MRI confirmed the presence, in the fetus, of cystic lesions and predicted disease regression/progression as well as the need for postnatal surgical intervention. Several advantages were detected by using both—serial US and MRI (over serial US alone)—including improved signal intensity, exact volume size measurements, precise CCAM location in particular for patients with adverse ultrasound conditions. Both neonates underwent surgical resection and had an uneventful post-operative course. Conclusions: Antenatal use of MRI as well as serial US improved information regarding tissue resolution and delineation of CCAM. The information from two imaging modalities was complementary. Our literature review confirmed the emerging role of prenatal MRI for postnatal monitoring and management of CCAM.展开更多
